LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 23. THE QUEEN V. THE REV. MR. DOBSON, CURRIE, AND OTHERS. Mr. V. LEE stated that he appeared on behalf of a per son named King, to mere for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against 'four Magis trates of the county of Berks. The first affidavit on which the application was founded was that of William King, who was a labouring man, and was possessed of a cottage, adjoining a wood called Bagley Common Wood ; that part of this common was inclosed, and belonged to St. John's College, Oxford ; that another part of it was uninclosed, and that he and other cottagers claimed the right of cut ting fern and underwood on the uninclosed parts. This right they had claimed for many years past. That this right was now in dispute in various proceedings in the Courts of common law and equity. The deponent, in as sertion of his right, bad cut a piece of whitehorn and maple in this wood in the early part of November, and 'the sth of November he was served with a sum mons to attend before the Magistrates. He did at tend, and an information was exhibited against him, and three witnesses were examined in support of the information. These witnesses stated that there had been claims, as of right, to cut underwood on the commonable part of Bagley Common Wood. A clerk of Mr. Frampton, a respectable solicitor, also attended before the Magistrates, and said that this was a case in which the act was done with the view of trying a right, and that the party was willing to enter into any terms for the purpose of asserting that right in a Court of law. The Magistrates, however, took no notice of his statement, and called on the information in the usual way. After it bad been heard the attorney for the applicant submitted to the Magistrates that they had no jurisdiction ; they would not listen to the objection, but proceeded to adjudi cate. That the case itself was heard before three Magis trates, but that towards the concluding part of the hear ing a fourth came in and asked what that was, and on being told, was heard to say, " Oh, give him his full time ;" that the Magistrates on that directed the ap plicant to pay a fine of 6d., that being the value put upon the thorn which he had cut, though it was stated on his part to be worth much less. That Mr. Currie, the Magistrate, then addressed the applicant, and said, " You are convicted of this offence, and unless the 6d. is paid, and one guinea for costs, you will be committed to prison for two months." That that was the whole period which the Malicious Trespass Act allowed in a conviction of this kind. The affidavit went on to state that after the applicant and his attorney had left the room, the Magis trates added that he was to be kept to hard labour during the time of the imprisonment : that the applicant was im mediately taken into custody, and committed to prison in default of payment. That while he was so committed to prison an application was made by his professional adviser to the Magistrates for leave to see him, but that such applica tion was refused until the sum of 11. ls. 6d. was paid. The affidavit of King was corroborated by the affidavit of wit nesses. The information was laid under the 7th and Bth Geo. 111., c. 30, s. 24. By the 20th sec. it was provided that if any one should maliciously cut or destroy the whole or any part of saplings, shrubs, or underwood, the injury done amounting to Is., every such offender should pay a fine not exceeding 51., as the Justices before whom he should be con victed should think fit. The 24th section provided that, if any person should wilfully or maliciously commit any in jury to, or spoil any property whatsoever, either of private or public bodies, for which no remedy was provided, every person, being convicted, should pay such money as should appear reasonable for the damage done. There was a fur ther provision with respect to public property, that the Ma gistrates shculd have the power to cite the offender before them, and to adjudge him to certain penalties, and might commit him to the House of Correction or other common gaol for any period not exceeding two calendar months, un less such sum and costs were paid. It was, however, pro vided that that sum should not extend to any case where the party charged with the offence claimed to act on the assertion of a right. The Learned Counsel therefore sub mitted that the Magistrates had no jurisdiction in this e ase ; first, because the Act required for that purpose that the injury done should amount to one shilling, whereas here it was only sixpence ; and, secondly, because the act was done in this instance in the assertion of a right. Lord DENMAN asked whether the affidavits distinctly stated what had been done by each of the Magistrates ? Mr. LEE answered that the first-named defendant was perfectly aware of the facts attending these disputed claims, but Mr. Currie was a gentleman of Edinburgh, a member of the University, on whose grounds the alleged trespass was committed ; and the affidavit specially described the conduct of those, as well as of the other Magistrates, who bad taken part in the proceedings.—Rule granted. BAIL COURT, Nov 23. THE QUEEN V. DODSON. Mr. V. LEE, on a former day, applied to the Court for a rule calling upon certain Magistrates of Berkshire to show cause why a criminal inform ition should not be filed against them, for illegally committing a person named King to gaol for cutting timber in Bagley Wood, on which occa sion his Lordship desired he would make the application to the full Court. Mr. Lee now applied to his Lordship for a rule to show cause why the coniiction should not be quashed, on the ground that the defendant having acted as he did in the assertion of a supposed right, the Magis trates had no power to commit him. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause. QUO WARRANTO. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court for a rule calling upon a Mr. Wright to show cause why an infor mation in the nature of a quo warrant° should not be filed against him commanding him, to show cause by what au thority he held and exercised the office of Alderman of the city of Ripon, in Yorkshire. It appeared from the affidavits that on the 9th of No vember instant, the burgesses elected an Alderman by show of bands instead of in the manner directed by the Muni cipal Corporations Act, and on discovering their mistake made a fresh election on the following day, but without giving the required notices, and it was on the latter occa sion that Mr. Wright was elected Alderman. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause. THE QUEEN V. JOSEPHS. Mr. HUMPHREY on a former day applied for a writ of certiorari to remove the indictment in this case. The writ was refused, in consequence of an omission in the affidavit ; that was now supplied, and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE accordingly granted the writ. His LORDSHIP afterwards sat at Nisi Prius, and tried several common jury causes. They were all of them unde fended, and of no public interest. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nov. 23. THOMAS V. TYLER. This was a demurrer to a bill of discovery. The plain tiffs, Thomas and Chapman, silk-merchants, sold to one Crofts, at Coventry, a quantity of silk, for which Crofts gave them a hill of exchange for 4971., payable five months after date, at Esdaile and Co.'s. Before the bill become due, Crofts deposited with the Coventry Banking Company (whose public officers the defendants were) another bill drawn on Lleaf, Coles, and Co., nearly equal in amount to his own acceptance, and it was alleged in the bill that in consideration of such discount, the defendants promised as well Crofts as the plaintiffs, that they would advise Croft,' acceptance at Esdaile's. This they failed to do, and an action was brought by the plaintiff against the de fendants for not advising the bill. After the cause had been set down, Crofts, who was the principal wit ness for the plaintiffs, was accordingly unable to prove the engagement of the plaintiffs to take up Crofts' acceptance. Crofts, previously to his death, had failed, owing the Coventry Banking Company a considerable sum, and the Company claimed a right to hold the proceeds of Lleaf, Coles, and Co.'s bill on their own account. The defendants have taken the cause to trial by proviso, and the bill prayed, besides a discovery, an injunction against their proceedings by proviso until discovery. The Learned Cam , BARON said that the Court would grant an injunction to either party appearing for it, if it were necessary for justice ; and that, without deter mining to what conclusio n he should come after mature consideration, he saw clearly that the plaintiffs 11.1c1 a good pr i m a facie case, which was all that was necessary in a Court of equity to entitle them to a discovery. The demurrer was accordingly overruled. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A foreigner, who said that his name was John William , was brought befo re the Lord Mayor, charged with haviu g : flung a stick at the carriage of Sheriff Johnson. A policeman stated the circumstances of the outrage. The LOaD MAYOR—What have you to say , defendant ? Defendant—Me no English. The LORD Mayon—Officer, did he speak to you plainly ? O f f i cer—As pla inl y as I speak, my Lord. Defendant (shaking his head) —No, no, me no English at all. The LOAD MAYOR—WeII , you shall g o back to prison until to-morrow, when perhaps you may be able to commu nicate with us. Mr. Hobl er —D o you speak French, or Italian, or Spa nish? Defendant—No ;me nothing speak but Dutch. Remanded. BOW-STREET. Two lads, named Thomas Mordecai and Owen Bourke, were charged with having in their possesbion a quantity of silver cuttings, the property of some person unknown. It appeared that the first-named prisoner went into the shop of o l i r . . T,y 4 ler, in Holly re lk a t ree t, on Wednesday night; rig the priipitrty prbadlta kir sale ; aaa being questioned how he came by it, he said his father was a silver teapot- maker, and he was sent to dispose of it by him. He was told the silver would be detained until his father came forward, as the account he gave was unsatisfactory. The prisoner then went away,saying he would bring his father and the following evening be returned, in company with the :other prisoner, whom he represented as his brother, any who said he was sent by his father to demand the sil ver. Mr. Tyler said he would not give it up unless they conducted him to the father, which they consented to do ; and on meeting with constable Garrard, they were given into custody. The prisoner Mordecai then said he picked up the silver in Castle-street, Holborn, as he was going on an errand ; and the other not being able to satisfy the Magistrate how he got his living, was ordered to find bail. His com panion was sent to hard labour for two months in the House of Correction. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1838. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Richardson, a person holding the office of fireman at St. James's Palace, and John Appleton, were brought before Mr. Dyer, charged with having stolen a quantity of paving -stones from the precincts of the Palace. Mr. DYER directed the prisoners to be remanded till Wednesday next. Policeman Filmer, C 130, was charged with having fraudulently obtained 103. from Adelaide St. Ange, a Frenchwoman, living in Oxendon-street. The complainant said she was walking last night in Prince's -street, when the prisoner came to her and told her he must take her into custody. Being alarmed at the un expected circumstance, she pulled out 10s. in four half crowns, and gave them to the policeman, who then told her to walk away quickly. As the question was one of identity, Mr. DYER ad journed the case for the purpose of obtaining the additional evidence of a person by whom the complainant was accom panied at the time she said she was taken into custody. MARYLEBOIVE. John Tomkins was charged with stealing a book from a shop in Hanway-court. The prisoner was remanded until Monday. Between one of the witnesses, who appeared against him, and Mr. Rawlinson, the following curious conversa tion passed : Mr. RAWLINSON—What are you ? Witness—l have been in the H division of police, but resigned, in conse quence of a report of drunkeness being sent in to the Com missioners. My reason for resigning was, Colonel Rowan suggested to me that by so doing I would not disqualify myself from a future situation. Mr.RAwLiNsoN—Do you mean to say that Colonel Rowan used these worth ? Witness—Yes. Mr. RAWLINSON—Were you ever reported before? Winess (with apparent reluctance)—Ncarly twenty times. Mr. ItAwLiNsoN (to one of the inspectors)—ls it usual to keep a man in the force, when so many reports were against him ? To which the ex-policeman said, he hal known instances where there were forty reports against some men. SHAM PARCELS.—A ma❑ named Burn was placed at the bar, charged with having defrauded Mr. Brown, re siding in the New road, of Is. 2d., in the following artful manner : It appeared from the evidence that, on the previous evening, the prisoner knocked at the door of prosecutor, rote whose son's hands he delivered a parcel, for which he demanded Is. 2d., at the same time stating that he was in a great hurry, as the stage-coach was waiting for him a short distance off. The money was given to him, and he then quitted the place, and on the parcel being cpened directly afters ards it was found to contain nothing more than an old mutilated 4s. 9d. gossamer, not worth a single penny. The prisoner was, in the course of the same even• ing, traced to a public-house in the neighbourhood, and given into the custody of a constable. He was at the time much the worse for drink. In reply to the charge, the prisoner said that some young men had done up the parcel by way of a joke, and that, to oblige them, he foolishly delivered it, agreeably to the address thereon written. lie was remanded for the production of further evidence. QUEEN-SQUARE. Jane Steer and Elizabeth Aliistead, two handsome look ing girls, attired in large silk cloaks and boas, were yester day placed at the bar, charged with shoplifting. John Cooper, shopman to Mr. Harvey, haberdasher and linen-draper, of No. 89, Lownes'.terrace, Knights bridge, stated that the two prisoners, who were servants in the employment of Captain Eastwick, of No. 33, St. Anne's place, Brompton, came into his master's shop yesterday morning, and desired to have the Captain's bill, as he was desirous of discharging the account. They were requested to sit down while the clerk made out the bill ; but they desired some articles might be shown them, as they wished to make two or three little purchases fur themselves. A quantity of blonde quilling, gloves, lace, and other things were shown them, none of which they approved ; but the shopman having watched them narrowly, was induced to make some com munication to his master, and the prisoners were invited into the back warehouse, where, a constable being sent for, they were searched, and forty yai ds of very handsome blonde quilling, fifteen yards of silk lace, and two pairs of kid gloves, were found on their persons. Mr. Harvey did not appear at all inclined to prosecute, but Mr. WHITE fully committed the prisoners for trial. HA7'TON-GARDEN. THE COAL TRADE.—Thomas Belt, a coal-dealer, of St. John -street, Clerkenwell, appeared to a summons, to an swer the complaint of Tbomas Collett, of Thotnas-street, Clerkenwell, for having supplied a sack of coals, being 15Ibs. deficient in weight, contrary to the Statute. Mr. Robinson attended for the defendant. It appeared that the complainant, who is a working man, ordered a sack of coals of the defendant, to be sent to his house. They were taken to his residence in a truck, when, suspecting that they were short in weight, he requested that they should be weighed pr'or to their delivery, in his presence ; but the party who brought them having no machine, they were delivered, when witness weighed them, and found that they were 151bs. deficient. Such imposition being practised upon poor people, who were in the habit of purchasing small quantities of coals, he determined on bri, ging the case forward, to check the practice. Mr. BENETT perused the Act of Parliament, the 58th clause of which stated that all coals less than 5601b5. should be weighed previous to their being delivered to the purchaser, but the 57th clause extended only to chaldrons. The question here was, whether the coal-dealer was obliged to carry a weighing-machine with a truck conveying only a sack of coals. The Act did not allude to a truck, but it was evident that the coals ought to be weighed previous to their delivery. Mr. Robinson contended that his client had weighed the coals previous to delivery at his own house. Mr. BENETT called upon him to prove that fact. Mr. Robinson—Tha onus rests with the complainant to prove that they were not weighed previous to their delivery. Mr. BENETT felt inclined to dismiss the case. Complainant—lf you dismiss the case I am determined to indict him at the Sessions, if it costs me 501. ; I will put a stop to it, Mr. Robinson urged that the case ought to be dismissed, as the coals had been weighed, and that they were not com pelled to carry a machine with a truck. Mr. BENETT said that it was a case of considerable im portance to the public, and he would not decide nor offer an opinion until he had attentively considered the law re lating to it, and he postponed it till a future day. UNION-HALL. Yesterday two men, named King and Bullis, and a woman named Smith, were charged with converting the proceeds of a reticule lost in the streets by a lady, to their own use. The The complainant s tated that on her way home to Ken nington, i n p ass i ng a l ong th e New-cut with her reticule or . suspended by a st r i ng t o h er ar m, it either dropped,the string was cut, and she lost it. There was in the reticule at the time a purse con t a i n i ng 9/., b es ides a pair of gold bracelets and some other articles of jewellery. The day following that on which the property was lost, the owner gave information of her loss at the station-house, and offered a reward of 51. for its restoration. Soon afterwards the police of the L division traced the reticule to the possession of the female prisoner, whose son, a little boy; said that he picked it up in the New -cut, and took it home to his mother, who, on examining the bag, found it contained the money, bracelets, and other articles. The mother, however, instead of giving information of the finding of the property at the station-house, or instituting any inquiry relative to the loser of it, immediately communicated the fact to King, a chimney sweeper, who was paying his addresses to her, and by him to Bullis, the other prisoner, a member of the same trade. A portion of the money was then sent out for brandy, rum, and gin, and it appeared that while the cash lasted the three prisoners were in a constant state of intoxication. When they were taken into custody they were all under the effects of liquor, and when they became sober an/ were brought to this Office the woman described the manner in which the reticule and money came into her possession, and said that she always thought that whatever people might find in the street they were justified in appropriating to their own use. Acting upon this principle, she had shared the money with her two friends in custody, and made a pre. se nt of the bracelets to a young woman who was go i ng t o get married, and who expressed swish 0 wear them on the night of the wedding. . spentthey t t t h l . v e o m prisoners said a thatwoman K n a g r a rt n i d o n ibt) other th of at th t e he nl y on d e id Y it came,. but it as got i l , The girl to whom the prisoner gave the brace it' eas-j:. to tilt must., lets dellyg4 them p no.atsigniqvuerre from whence The prisoners were told that they rendered themselves liable to be sent to take their trial for felony. Under the circumstances, however, they were fined heavily, and in de fault committed for two months each. WORSHIP-STREET. THE POWER OF MAGISTRATES OVER OVERSEERS. — Yesterday Catherine Taldy, aged 16, was placed at the bar before Messrs. GROVE and CODD, charged with having been found destitute in the street. The constable who had in her in charge stated that he found the prisoner in Whitechapel. She appeared in great distress, and upon being questioned by him she stated that she belonged to Bethn.l-green workhouse. He took her there, when he was informed that they would not admit her, and that they had a charge against her for robbery. He in consequence took her to the station-house. Mr. Christie, the relieving overseer, stated that he ob tained a situation for the prisoner (from the workhouse) with his sister. She was there but a short time. A few days ago she ran away, and took with her a shawl and other articles. Since then lie had heard nothing of her till ap prehended. Mr. CODD observed that he would here take the op portunity of remarking, in consequence of having seen in that day's paper that at the Town Hall Alderman Kelly had given an opinion that, in cases of extreme poverty, he had no power to compel overseers to afford relief. But if the worthy Alderman would look at section 54 of the Poor-law Amendment Act, he would there find that the power was given to a Magistrate ; and, in case of disobe dience, the overseer was liable to a penalty of Si. He made these observations in the hope that they would not be passed by without notice, and that the public mind might be disabused of a wrong notion upon the sub ject. He had himself ordered relief to persons thus situated, and he should ever continue to do so. The prisoner was sent to the House of Correction for fourteen days, and Christie was directed to be there when she was discharged to take her to the workhouse. T.HAMES.OFFICE. Yesterday Joseph Kokuhft, a Russian seaman, was brought before Mr. Broderip and Mr. Greenwood on a charge of wounding Egraf Ruaseler, his shipmate, on board the Russian brig Diana, living in the river. It appeared from the statement of Captain Gelleman, the master of the Diana (a Prussian. who spoke the English language very correctly), that on Thursday even ing he heard the two men fighting in the forecastle, and he directed the cook to douse the lamp, which he did. The parties were very quiet for about a quarter of an hour, when the cook came ru,ning aft for a light, and said that Kokuloft and Ruaseler were murdering each other. The mate got a light, and took a knife out of the prisoner's hands. The man Ruaseler was bleeding profusely from his face and bands. lie sent for the Thames police, and the prisoner was taken out of the ship. The men first began fighting with their fists. The Magistrates said they must mark their sense of the improper behaviour of the prisoner by fining him ten shillings, and in default, he would be imprisoned ten days for the assault. The fine was not p ,id, and the prisoner was eommitted. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of last Evening. ) SUGAR —There has been less briskness in the British Plan. tation Market, yet considering the extensive purchases which have been made lately, 9,000 hhds, &c., having been sold during the past two weeks, a fair business has been transacted since our last in brown and yellow descrip tions, and both grocers and refiners have been equal buyers, paying prices fully up to those of last Friday. 120 hhds Bar' , adoes at public sale were principally sold at former rates, and brought 59s a 66s 6d for low .to fine qua lity.

Michael D.. naghue, the unfortunate man who was intirdcrA, was a gangsman or sub-contractor on the North Union Rail way works. H e b ore a goo d c h arac t er an d was con sidered a steady respectable man in his sphere of life. It appears that Donoghue, who, for some reason unex plained, had not paid the wages of the labourers on Satur day, was occupied on the Monday in paying them, at • the house of Lacky, with whom he lodged, and who was a labourer on the works. Michael Donoghue refused to pay some of the men until he had ob tained an account of provisions which they had eb tinned at a neighbouring shop, and for which he had ren dered himself accountable. On account of this refusal Lacky, his two brothers, and his wife began to quarrel with the deceased, and subsequently called to their as sistance a number of other persons. The door was then locked, but some of the person:, escaped through the win dows. Cries of murder were heard in the street, and on forcing open the door it was found that all the parties had absconded, leaving the lifeless body of the deceased in the room. The body bore about it marks of fatal violence, and was surrounded with a pool of blood. A Coroner's inquest was held on the following day, but it was found necessary to postpone the inquiry in order to wait for further evi dence. This brutal outrage has directed public attention to the state of the police force in the district, and every effort is now making to arrest the murderers, none of the parties concerned having been yet secured.—Preston CAroniele. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN TOTTENHAM ' COURT-ROA D.—The boy Wildman, whose case has been repeatedly before the public, expired at the University College Hospital, at a late hour on Wednesday night. It will be recollected that on Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, the boy, who was about eleven years of age, was found by his master, Mr. Fincham. of Tottenham-court road, sitting in the workshop, bleeding profusely from a wound in the abdomen. The statement of the boy was to the effect that having heard a knock at the door, about seven o'clock that morning, he had opened it, when a man, dressed in tattered regimentals of the late British Legion, asked him if he wanted to buy any lucifer matches, and that being answered in the negative, the man imme diately drew a knife from beneath his cloak, and in flicted the wound in question. The boy was taken to the hospital, but considerable suspicion was thrown on his statement from the circumstance that the inmates of the parlour heard no knock at the door within an hour of the time specified, and this suspicion was farther increased by the length of time which the boy had remained in the work shop after the alleged period of the outrage, without giving any alarm. On Tuesday inflammation set in, and it was evident that he could not long survive. The boy's mother visited her son, and, after pointing out his precarious condi tion, entreated him to disclose the truth, stating that his master suspected that the wound had been accidentally in flicted by the youth himself while cutting some materials with which he had no right to meddle. The boy, however, persisted in his former statement. Previous to the boy's death several of the men, who are to be seen begging about the streets in the regimentals of the Legion, were taken to the hospital, but the boy said none of them was the party implicated. What adds to the mystery of the case is that no knife or other instrument has been found in the work shop likely to have inflicted the wound, on the supposition that the boy's statement was false. As an excavator employed on the line of the North Midland Railway, near Stavely, was attempting to stop one of the waggons, on Tuesday se'nnight, by placing a handspike between the spokes of the wheel, he fell, and the handspike struck him on the face, broke his jaw -bone, and otherwise greatly injured him.--Derby Reporter.
